I remember Violet, Brian, and I talking in the car on the way back from the war protest one day, when I explained the full measure of 'the revolution will not be televised' and why, logically this is true. Considering that the media is big business, and good pals with the government, saving a fortune with their tax breaks they help right back.

To be honest, it's disturbing what's going on right now. You've got senators arguing that we should legislate people's bedroom activities while our heads of state just nod and stay silent - a quiet ok to continue. You've got networks
pulling the plug on reasoned and reasonable debates because they don't want you to hear it. Dissent will not be allowed on television right now, better just clam up, right? But, that's what I'm talking about.

The internet is probably the greatest communication tool since moveable type, and I believe that this is the tool that will allow people to rise up against stuff like this and express how they really feel. Maybe I'm just optimistic, though.
